Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fileplay at none against PubBuzzy's 10. Fileplay also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months). PubBuzzy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
